Me too! Special, and willing to share it around.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
I've managed to give one of mine away!
Does that make me more specialer?
I feel the need to pimp a fic I believe is seriously underappreciated. It's a Star Trek gen fic and so there just aren't as many communities to post it to, so it's not getting the traffic it deserves.
The Light of Distant Skies (gen, PG-13).
Summary: 16.45 years after Vulcan's destruction, the last light from Vulcan shines on an Earth on the verge of war, and on Starfleet officers facing decisions on whether to confront the enemy or seek out new life.
Basingstoke wrote a Sherlock/Black Books crossover. Hearts in my eyes!
Sail, that was a remarkably good story. Thanks for posting the link.
The SPN thread is full of fan fic recs and anti-recs, but this one stood out to me recently: It's Always The End Of The World Somewhere. It's an NC-17 high school AU (Dean/Cas pairing), but if all that doesn't turn you off, it's really good. It's got some of the most complex AU Castiel characterisation I've read anyone accomplish. I've read a decent amount I've enjoyed recently, but when I consider recommending something to my sister who doesn't even watch the show, then I know I'm hooked.
weird but cool.
The master list has been posted for the spn_summergen fics.
I wrote two fics for the challenge this year, Black Dog on My Shoulder Again, which is a Stanford-era fic where Sam gets pulled into a hunt. It's rather dark, and it draws on a number of things we learned in Season 5.
Fightin' Words is the closest I have ever come to writing crack!fic. Sam and Dean have any number of childhood traumas and hunts-gone-wrong that they don't talk about, not because of man!pain, but because of sheer embarrassment.
Those two just got bumped to the top of my list, Anne!
